![You Will Come Out Of The Fire Better Than You Went In.
This is my favorite part of the story. The Bible says, "Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to even higher positions in the province of Babylon." Think about how they got their first promotion. Daniel asked the king, and God moved. Now look at the second one. Nobody asked. Nobody lobbied. The fire that was supposed to end their careers promoted them. And notice who signed the promotion: the same king who threw them in. The psalmist said, "no one exalts a person but God." God used the king's own furnace to lift them higher. Your fire can become your promotion.
How this applies to you:
-- They went into the fire as officials, and they came out promoted.
-- I have taught you this before: the more satan attacked the Hebrew Boys, the more they were promoted. If the devil knew any better, he would leave you alone!
-- God does not make bad things happen to you, but He can use the bad things and turn them around for your good. Paul said, "all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose."
-- Nebuchadnezzar planned to kill them, but God had the final word, and His word was promotion.
-- The psalmist said, "the favor that brings promotion and power doesn't come from anywhere on earth." People can open doors, but only God decides who rises.
-- God planned your destiny before you were born, and every fire you walk through by His grace becomes a testimony that brings Him glory.
-- Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego went in tied up, walked around free, and came out promoted. If you don't bow, you won't burn! Tomorrow, the same king has a dream that troubles him, and Daniel has to tell him a hard truth with love.](https://instagram.ftlv23-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t51.82787-15/886527382_18644899084043036_6569611124382856212_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=107&_nc_map=urlgen_bucketless&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=18de74&efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&_nc_ohc=-rhh2mQjPv8Q7kNvwFn1yww&_nc_oc=Adq_K0GRp11i2SWuTpD_ZHFpMKGSR3E_PSnuxgIdn3FWa31j2lcN8OiLGnCWWfUi-2w&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=instagram.ftlv23-1.fna&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=SMf3pT5nKjV-2Gi9wVHgcg&_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQJll0bCDuExW_LOVH9ULX4QAZBSFRxQZmoA62uSAqD6I9nITzayyC32h0Nh3gzrqTbiTLuHjepT&oh=00_AQQsOJ7APd473-kwhYDSH9PmK1Fw-OJVr9xAvZwtpz0F0w&oe=6AF2990F)
